ANNUAL CONCERT PRESENTED

Prof. William E. Kritch
Directs; Held in
Presser Hall
On Tuesday evening, March 17, the
University orchestra, under the direc-tion
of Prof. William E. Kritch, pre-sented
its annual concert in Presser
Hall.
The program opened with the mag-nificent
Mendelssohn "Heimkehr ans
der Fremde." Following this most
auspicious start came Coleridge-Tay-lor's
"Five Scenes from an Imaginary
Ballet.",
The "Ntttcracker Suite" of Tschaik-owsky
was next played in its entire-ty-
eight numbers of varying types.
The suite derives its name from an old
Russian fairy tale in which a giant
Nutcracker led a ballet of toys. The
suite is composed of a miniature over-ture,
a march, the Danse Arabe, the
Danse le la Fee-Dragee, the Danse
Russe Trepak, the Danse Chinoise, the
Danse des Mislitousfi and closes with
the Valse de Fleurs.
Luigini's "Ballet Egyption" brought

division to be sacrificed are some o
n the least used departments of the
school. The basic courses of aban

other departments. The great mass of
t liberal art students come to Wesleyan
e to get a liberal college education. Oth-ers
are preparing to teach; others for
t premedics, dentistry, law, etc. None
t of the great fundamental fields will be
l touched hs Weslevan's reorganization
process. The school as a whole will
have lessened expenses, finest of ii-structors
in the fundamental depart-ments.
And as a whole will be able to
give each student a deeper insight in
the fundamental fields of knowledge.

ah details dealing with the reorganizatio
se which is to take place at Illinois We:
re leyan next year, I am sure that th
na plan is being advanced only for th
good of Wesleyan. Since we are Wes
leyan, it is for our good. For thi
reason I think that every :.tudet
should stand back of the college. A
e though I personally am sorry to se
I some of my friends on the facult
e leave, nevertheless I am sure that the
e will be taken care of elsewhere.

a I heard so many rumors about th
-C downfall of dear old eVslevan in th
t past few days that I decided to loo
- into the situation to find out just wha
- was going on in our college. Wesleya
is a class A college and as far as
f can see will remain a class A colleg
h after the reorganization. Probably
is not generally known that at Wes
leyan there are about 15 students tc
neach teacher. Many class A college
- are running with far more students pe
- teacher than this ratio. Of course w
- willsbe sorry to see some of our in
1 structors leave but as I see it the
division to be sacrificed are some o
n the least used departments of the
school. The basic courses of aban
doned departments can be combined ii
other departments. The great mass of
t liberal art students come to Wesleyan
e to get a liberal college education. Oth-ers
are preparing to teach; others for
t premedics, dentistry, law, etc. None
t of the great fundamental fields will be
l touched hs Weslevan's reorganization
process. The school as a whole will
have lessened expenses, finest of ii-structors
in the fundamental depart-ments.
And as a whole will be able to
give each student a deeper insight in
the fundamental fields of knowledge.
